It already is equal opportunity. Howard Dean's son and Bill Clinton's daughter have the equal opportunity to want to die for their country, if they so choose, just like the rest. Or not.

Where the opportunity becomes unequal is when you forcibly try to make them "want" to do it. As such, people in certain circles of power will always have an ability to circumvent the rules. We have had drafts and some of those in power have indeed used position to evade it.

If there is no rule to evade, then there are nothing to circumvent — a perfect equal opportunity.

"When your and my sons have an equal opportunity, along with Howard Dean's son and Bill Clinton's daughter, to die for this country, attitudes will change for the better."
